It’s Been a LONG Time Since NC State & UNC Have Played One Another with 3-0 ACC Records

This Wednesday night, NC State (11-3) and #8 UNC (11-3) will face one another in PNC Arena, with both teams boasting 3-0 ACC records.

When was the last time that both teams had 3-0 conference records when they played one another?

The answer you’re looking for is January 22, 1974.

In fact, since the inception of the ACC in 1953, Wednesday’s game will mark only the 4th time the two teams have faced one another with 3-0 ACC records.

1973-74 – AWAY – 83-80 (W)

1968-69 – HOME – 63-83 (L)

1958-59 – HOME – 68-72 (OT) (L)

Kudos to Rodd Baxley for digging for this statistical gold.
